To determine which of the given options (-8) could be represented by, we need to understand what the negative sign in front of a number signifies. In this case, -8 represents a negative number. A negative number typically denotes a value that is less than zero.
Now let's evaluate each option to see which one represents a negative value:
A. A drop of 8 meters: This option represents a positive value, as it measures a distance of 8 meters downwards. Therefore, it does not match the given -8 value.
B. 8 T-shirts: This option represents a positive value, indicating the number of T-shirts. Since it is not a negative value, it does not match -8.
C. Sea levels in 8 places of the world: This option needs further clarification. Assuming it refers to the sea levels in 8 different locations, it is possible for some places to have negative sea levels, such as below sea level. Therefore, it is plausible that -8 could represent the sea levels in 8 places of the world.
D. 8℃ above zero: This option represents a positive value, indicating a temperature that is 8 degrees Celsius above zero. Since it is not a negative value, it does not match -8.
Based on the analysis above, the option that could be represented by -8 is C. Sea levels in 8 places of the world. However, note that this is only a possibility and should be further verified or clarified to be certain.
